I bought one with US warranty. I do not know if a gray market lens is available with international warranty. Check at large camera store web sites (like Adorama or B&H;).

Yes this is a US market and not grey market. Here is from this add. Hope this helps and it is a great lens. BobBy purchasing Tamron products from an authorized dealer, you can ensure the quality of the product, which will be also covered by Tamron USA's Six-Year Limited Warranty, the only warranty accepted by Tamron USA, Inc. in the USA as of October 1, 2007. In addition, only Tamron products purchased from Amazon.com or another authorized Tamron dealer qualify for Tamron's mail-in rebate program.

I believe this is what they call "gray market" if it is then it is a Canon lens but canon will NOT service it for free for the first year. Even the US lenses are not serviced for free after the first year

No most lenses don't unless you get custom "Transition" brand. The one I ordered was a smoke gray throughout. Not the two shades as shown in picture

The lens that I purchased was a new one. Having said that it arrived in perfect condition and I have taken so really incredible pictures with these lens. It has become my second fav lens. Also keep checking because Tamron frequently offers rebates , I received $75. Hope this helps.

It didn't appear to be gray market . This lens takes some of the most incredible pictures..... I have had several Canon Cameras and a number of different types of lenses. If I can only take one to a general gathering, this is the one I take. The little trip-pod was pretty useless, but I don't use tri-pods for the most part. The lens is light .... and costs much less than the other name brands

Yes it is. Actually, I'm thinking about selling this lens. I've used it a total of 2 times. I've found that I just don't use it. You may want to contact me.

Admittedly I don't know what the market is, but if I were you I'd be looking for E mount lenses over using alpha mount w/adapter.

It looks like they used the wrong image when they did the ad. They seem to have 2 or 3 ads for that lens. I do love mine it OS a great walk around lens.

If the lens is sold by Amazon.com, it will be the USA version. If it's sold on Amazon by a third party, verify with them that it is not grey market.

If it is sold directly by Amazon, I don't believe you have an issue. If it's a 3rd party (even selling through Amazon), you should check. Usually it'll say something like "USA Warranty" in the description. And if a lens is significantly cheaper than at the usual places, be doubly suspicious.It's a great lens, but its strength is in the 16-24 range, not as much in the 24-35 range. Since I have the 24-70, that's not such a big deal -- but be aware.

Both my lenses are an off white or grayish and were bought from a reputable seller, B and H Photo. Don't worry about the color and purchase your lens from an honest seller. An honest seller will be upfront about selling grey market lenses.

Yes, if this lens is bought new and is not "grey market". Grey market meaning that if this lens was originally sold in Europe and it found its way into the USA or to any other country then no it will not get the warranty.

It is genuine lens, made in Japan and imported. I don't buy expensive things from grey market.

The one I received was a USA lens with Sigma warranty. It was NOT a "grey market" lens.
